CGiii Comment

It's just a little too contrived...and, the preaching is a little heavy-handed.

But...it's a sweet little film...with a fantastic smile!

The(ir) Blurb...

Anemio is a non-binary Nigerian teenager, unable to express their gender identity to their conservative family. The only place they feel at peace is the local marine aquatics shop they work in, comforted by the formless and hermaphroditic marine life. So when social pressures escalate, they transform into an anemone.
